Washington Heights is fast becoming New York's hottest residential community, where the old world charm of pre-war architecture meets the cutting-edge of art and culture. On a walk through the Heights, you will find students from Columbia Presbyterian hurrying to class or enjoying the music scene at a local hot-spot, third-generation residents selling goods at their family-run store and young families playing with their children in the area's world-famous parks. While Washington Heights is only a short subway ride to midtown, its warm community atmosphere is in stark contrast to downtown's hustle and bustle. Simply put, Washington Heights will enable you to easily access all parts of Manhattan while still living in an area that feels like a true neighborhood.
